Source: www.bulldogs.com.auThe nature of the 'heritage' in Sunday's Heritage Round clash between the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and Gold Coast Titans might be hard to ascertain, yet Bulldogs fans head in hoping round five will provide a game to remember for the second placed outfit.
While the Skilled Park clash looks set -
perhaps, according to Bulldogs Aiden Tolman, Josh Morris and assistant coach Jim Dymock - to be denied the marquee value of Titans centre Jamal Idris up against his former Club, the matchup is not exactly short on talking points.
There's Des Hasler's Bulldogs looking to hit back from their first loss of the season, an error riddled 20-6 loss at home to the Newcastle Knights last Sunday. The match, which saw the Bulldogs held to zero for all but the final 90 seconds, will no doubt be put to bed for the Bulldogs who will need to improve on their 61% completion rate if they're to get back on their winning ways against the Titans.
There's also the loss of Trent Hodkinson for six weeks to a medial ligament sprain, with the halfback's place in the side taken by junior clubmate Kris Keating. Keating's ascent to the top grade is his first for the season and comes on the back of three straight man of the match winning performances in NSW Cup, which saw him cross for four tries.
As the Bulldogs chase their fourth win of the year, the Titans search for their first win in four weeks with their last victory coming away against the North Queensland Cowboys in round one.
The 2011 wooden spooners are without Idris and halfback Scott Prince, however it leaves them with no shortage of quality with their side boasting the likes of William Zillman, Beau Champion, Greg Bird, Luke Bailey, Luke Douglas, Nate Myles, Mark Minichiello and Ashley Harrison.
Coach John Cartwright can't claim to lack cattle, and the Bulldogs head into the match knowing it's only a matter of time before they click as a unit.
One final point regarding the Bulldogs opposition - who went down 26-6 to the Warriors in Auckland last start - is their much publicised financial woes. They'll surely be hoping for plenty of bums on seats for this match to feed into the bottom line.
Coach Hasler predicts his side will bounce back from the disappointing loss to the Knights.
"We were guilty of dropping too much ball and we'll be needing to make a attitude adjustment to hold onto that ball," he said.
Hasler also said he is expecting big things from Keating in his first NRL game of the season.
"Kris is a first grade player who has a wealth of experience. Certainly his attacking game in his left foot kicking will be very beneficial for us."
Sunday's match kicks off at 2pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time - remember to put your clocks back one hour before bed on Saturday night) at Skilled Park.

Source: www.bulldogs.com.auFront rower Aiden Tolman has capped off a big first season in blue and white by being named the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 2011 NRL Player of the Year at the Club's annual Presentation Night held on Wednesday at Doltone House, Jones Bay Wharf.
Tolman became the first to claim the Dr George Peponis Medal after being judged to have made the most outstanding on field contribution to the Bulldogs over the course of the NRL season by his team mates and coaching staff.
From this year onward, all awards handed out at the Bulldogs Presentation night will bear the names of Club Legends, with Peponis, Terry Lamb (NSW Cup Player of the Year), Hazem El Masri (Toyota Cup Player of the Year), Steve Mortimer (Rookie of the Year), and Les Johns (Club Man of the Year) all being recognised for their contributions to the Club.
22 year old Tolman, who joined the Club in 2011 from the Melbourne Storm, was a standout in each of the 22 games he played this season, starting every game he featured in.
Tolman's reputation for toughness and endurance shone through during a season in which he played 18 games of 50 minutes plus, with two of those ? round one against the Wests Tigers and round seven against South Sydney ? clocking in at 71 and 72 minutes apiece.
His consistency and effort over the course of the season sees him rated alongside the hardest working props in the game ? the likes of Melbourne's Adam Blair, Gold Coast's Luke Bailey and Cronulla's Luke Douglas.
Trent Cutler was crowned the winner of the Terry Lamb Medal for NSW Cup player of the year, completing a season in which he captained the Bulldogs to a third straight title at that level.
2011 was also notable for the versatile backline player, who made his NRL comeback after an absence of 1,471 days, as well as playing his 200th game for the Club.
Junior Kangaroo Dale Finucane has taken out the Hazem El Masri medal as the Bulldogs Toyota Cup player of the year, bringing down the curtain on two and a half seasons in the national youth competition.
Bega product Finucane captained the side with distinction in 2011, playing every game during a year that saw the young Bulldogs reach the Grand Final qualifier despite a crippling injury toll that saw them use 39 players throughout the season.
Prop Sam Kasiano was recognised for a breakout season in the NRL by taking out the Steve Mortimer Medal as the Bulldogs Rookie of the Year.
Selected to make his NRL debut against the Wests Tigers in round one, Kasiano would eventually play all but five games for the year - including a run of 15 straight to finish off the season.
And Bulldogs 2011 Ken Stephen Medal nominee Dene Halatau finished with two awards for the evening, adding the Les Johns Medal for Club Man of the Year to the Peter Warren Medal he claimed for his work for community causes.
The Club Man of the Year and Rookie of the Year awards are decided upon by a voting panel that includes Chief Executive Officer Todd Greenberg, senior players and members of the Bulldogs coaching staff.
The Presentation night also represented a farewell of sorts to departing players, as well as those who have achieved significant milestones during season 2011.
Retiring Bulldogs captain Andrew Ryan was singled out for special praise, with Camp Quality Chief Executive Simon Rountree presenting 'Bobcat' with a Charity Champion award on behalf of his organisation at the gala.
Camp Quality approached the Club in the lead up to the event to ask permission to make the presentation, to thank Ryan for his hard work and commitment to supporting children with cancer and their families.
